Now Playing: I Played 10 Hours Of Silksong In One Day To Make This Video

Despite a small dip in players, which we can attribute to it being a Monday, Silksong is still holding strong. As of writing, the metroidvania has over 459,177 players in-game. What's more, the game is currently sitting at number 4 for most-played games on Steam, beating out the likes of Rust, Path of Exile 2, and Helldivers 2, and following behind PUBG: Battlegrounds, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike 2.

It's worth noting that these numbers only apply to Steam, since there's no way for us to know how the game is performing on other platforms such as Game Pass.

Silksong is by far one of the most successful games of the year in terms of player count. It's so popular that those eager to get their hands on the game after seven long years had to wait just a little longer after the game's release crashed almost every storefront, including Steam, Nintendo eShop, PSN, Xbox, and Game Pass.

If you're just getting started, here are 10 Hollow Knight: Silksong tips you need to know before you play, which includes a beginner's guide on Hornet's healing ability, where to purchase maps, fast travel points, and acquiring new skills.
